    Thing that really strikes me is how personal it feels watching you. It’s not like you are trying to tell a story and being overly creative to entertain someone.. instead of that you really show your daily routine and that impresses me.. Keep up the good work!

    Just got back to the U.S. from Paris. First time there and loved it! ❤️ I’ve been watching UA-cam videos prior to the trip to prepare and that’s how I found your vlog. Enjoy them!

    That top of the tower is terrifying with only the original stone railings. Reminds me of the first time I climbed the NOTRE DAME towers back in 1971. Felt like being Quasimodo ;)
    Sound baffling should work nicely.
    Fun daily share, thanks.
    Have a great weekend Jay.
    Best, James

    Thank you for climbing the tower so we don't have to! I was getting vertigo just watching you at the top - and as for hanging over the edge.....my stomach actually turned at the thought. BHV is my favourite department store, you can buy just about anything there.

    My wife and I are from Alaska and we are in Paris now visiting family. We were just there yesterday (Saturday) when you apparently were. How interesting. We were also in that department store a bit earlier. I am slightly surprised that we didn’t run into you. Cheers!

    Acoustic "tiles": Pointy surface is designed to scatter sound and is therefore meant to be the visible side, flat side is back surface. Same idea as fallen snow making the immediate surroundings quiet - surface of fresh snow is granular and irregular, therefore scatters/absorbs sound. Flat, hard surfaces reflect sound and are echo-y, = "bad" acoustics.

    Lovely views! I have bittersweet memories of the Tour Saint Jacques. I missed an appointment to go up- it used to only be open during the Journées des Patrimoines and I missed an appointment time to go up with the ex and it led to a marital spat. The ex eventually went up with someone else (a woman) after I left Paris and took a bunch of photos. Eh. Well. Maybe someday. At least I got to see a cool video of it today! 😃👍🏼 I like its history and connection with the Camion de Saint Jacques (or the Camino de Santiago). I cracked up at “There were attack churches.” “Fair enough.” 😂 That was a pretty cool Thing you got to do! 🌟

    I'm pretty sure we walked past that church tower on our mid-May Paris/Loire trip.
    We didn't walk up due to our two VERY young children with double stroller.
    Is there another stand-alone gothic tower similar to that in Paris?
    I'm sure you've viewed the UA-cam videos of another creator (Casey Neistat) from NYC who also has that manner of open/toss/drop package/contents/etc. on the desk/floor/etc. regardless of consequences to the item(s)
    survival. You millenials........
    I would prefer to "savor" some of the shots a little longer; but that's what sets you apart. I appreciate the memory "trigger" stimulus anyway.
    I think we pretty much "killed" it considering our seven day time constraints.
    Looking forward to see how all this develops. Thank you!

Ugh.😱 Seems like Jenica is feeling better.😎 BTW: I hope I’m wrong, but it looked like you were sticking the wrong side of the foam to the cardboard. Bumpy side out to deflect noise is the correct way. Maybe I saw it wrong , as only a brief glimpse?
